Default what colour is white gloss paint; aged ~ 2 years-ish

My house has lots of white gloss painted woodwork. Just from the
everyday knocks, the woodwork now has quite a few deep chips out of
the paint.

The paint is fairly thick and brittle and the chips really just want
patching up. Although the painted wood looks white, it is very yellow
compared to some white dulux trade gloss paint that I have. Patching
up the chips just looks awful.

So gloss paint does yellow with age, but are some gloss whites more
yellow that others after some aging?


I expect different paints do age differently, but also according to the
level of light they are subjected to.

Hey - maybe there's a new marketing opportinity for Dulux et al:
1-year-old white gloss paint, 2-year old white gloss paint...
